In this difficult time of Iran-Israel tension, good news has come for India from Saudi Arabia. The Indian Embassy has clearly stated that no Indian died in the tragic incident that took place in Al Kharj last evening. This is a cause of relief for the families of lakhs of Indians who are working in Saudi.
2 killed, 11 injured due to falling military projectile
Saudi Civil Defense said that a military projectile fell in a residential area in Al Kharj province. Two Bangladeshi citizens died and 11 Bangladeshis were injured in this accident. An Indian has also been injured in this incident, but his condition is said to be fine.
Indian Embassy Riyadh immediately issued a statement in this regard. He wrote on X, ‘It is a matter of relief that no Indian died in this tragic incident that took place in Al Kharj yesterday evening. We have maintained constant contact with Saudi authorities on this matter.
Treatment in government hospital of Al Kharj
Embassy Counselor (Consular Welfare) Y. Sabir reached Al Kharj only last night. He met the injured Indian citizen there. The embassy said that the man is currently undergoing treatment and care at the government hospital in Al Kharj. The Indian Embassy has also informed the Ministry of External Affairs and other concerned departments about this. He said that every necessary help is being provided in collaboration with Saudi authorities.
This incident has happened amidst increasing tension related to Iran war. There are reports of missile and drone attacks in the area, but the Indian government is completely alert about the safety of its citizens. About 27 lakh Indians live and work in Saudi Arabia, hence the Embassy always takes immediate action in such incidents.

The identity of the injured Indian has not been made public yet, but the Embassy has also contacted his family. If any further update comes we will let you know immediately. The Indian government had earlier also advised its citizens to remain alert in the Iran-Israel conflict. Indian families have heaved a sigh of relief with this relief news. Thanks also to the Saudi authorities, who provided immediate help and information.
